The Gable Faces East

A Sweeping Historical Drama of Love, Hate, Revenge, and Destiny For readers who have enjoyed Anita Stansfield’s best-selling First Love and Forever series, this extraordinary novel tells the story of Michael Hamilton’s great-grandparents, whose journey toward love was larger than life and ruled by a destiny that was both kind and cruel. It is the unforgettable saga of two lives brought together by fate, then driven apart by the deceptions of a previous generation - a time when vengence ruled passion, and passion ruined lives. Jess Davies is the victim of a raging feud he doesn't understand. He must fight to survive as he struggles to accept the twisted circumstances of his birth. Meanwhile, Alexandra Byrnehouse, shattered by the events surrounding her father's death, is forced to turn to her family's oldest enemy in order to keep body and soul together. When Jess Davies and Alexandra Byrnehouse meet, they unwittingly take on decades of mistrust, deception, and deep betrayals of the heart. Together they are confronted with arson and murder as they discover unbelievable secrets that first bind them to each other, then tear them apart. If they are to survive, they must learn that passions cannot be chosen-and only the most perfect love can heal the deepest scars. The Gable Faces East is a true masterpiece of historical romance fiction-one of Anita Stansfield’s finest!
